I'm not a vintage/thrift shop girl. I don't have the patience.

How much of fashion is fueled by insecurity - for better or worse?

There is nothing "useful" about fashion, which is why it is fashion and not clothes. My personal opinion about the runway is that it should be used to whisk the audience off to a fantasy world that is possible, but not probably. It should delight and inspire.

I am a thorn in the side of designers.

I like some of the oversized silhouettes. It's a nice change and exudes ease. Also like the upmarket street wear. It's fashion that reaches people where they live but looks polished.

Sometimes those who bloom too early fade fast. Michael Kors struggled for years - and endured bankruptcy - before he became all rich and famous and fabulous.

I get enough fashion news in my professional life. I like interiors during my downtime.
